Cheating On My Girlfriend

Did you ever feel like you were cheating on a girlfriend with another girlfriend? Well, that’s what I’m going through right now. One of my friends that I am really close with, let’s call her Misty, introduced me to her friend from work, we’ll call her Ann. They stopped working together a while ago, but we all used to go out and do thing together. Well, Misty has a lot going on in her life. She has a man and she is getting ready to go to law school. Even before law school, she was always a very busy person. Ann is single and likes to go out and do things, things Misty doesn’t like to do. Well, I talk regularly on the phone with Ann and one day Misty let it be know that she was a bit jealous. Here’s the story. Ann and I were talking about movies. I love to go out to the movies and so does she. We said how nice it would be to go, we could grab lunch and make a day of it. After all, we are both single and don’t have anything else to do. We hadn’t actually made a plan, just talked about doing it. So, no date, no time, no place, not even a specific movie in mind. Just a conversation. I told Misty about this and asked if she wanted to come. She got upset! She said “Well, if I were THINKING of doing something I would have included you!” Talk about High Maintenance. It hurt her feelings that she introduced me to Ann and we seemed so close. Apparently I am not supposed to hang out with Ann without Misty. Well, then Misty does things she doesn’t want to do and expects us to do things we don’t want to do. Like Ann and I both really wanted to go see Mama Mia when it was in town. Misty didn’t want to go, but she came anyway. She didn’t want to spend much on tickets, so we tried to appease her by not getting the best seats we could, which really bothered Ann. And she didn’t even pretend to enjoy herself afterwards. So, when a ballet or something was in town, she expected us to go with her. I didn’t want to go! Not that I had anything against the ballet, but I just wasn’t feeling it that night. I think I had something going on too. I think Ann went with her after the numerous “Well, I went with you guys to Mama Mia!” comments. Ann and I have talked about this situation. We both realize that we censor ourselves around Misty so that she doesn’t know we’ve been talking. It’s that a shame. My girl Shel asked me the other day if I was still cheating on Misty with Ann. It really does feel like that!! I need more guy friends…
